Cheap Alain Miller men's watch with green dial 40 mm

Brushed to a quiet, silvery sheen, the stainless steel of this Alain Miller watch feels cool and solid against the wrist, and it carries a deep green dial that stays understated rather than loud. It is a men's quartz watch with a round 40 mm case, and at this price it is inexpensive without looking it.

A dial that reads easily

The green dial is clear to read at a glance. Arabic numerals mark the hours, with white indices for the minutes, so there is never any doubt about the time. A small window shows the date. The display is analogue throughout.

What sits behind the dial

Inside is an SL28 quartz movement, which keeps reliable time without any winding or fuss. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals while the case is open. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would.

Case and bracelet

The case measures 40 mm across and 9 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist and slim enough to slip under a cuff. The silver-coloured steel bracelet is 20 mm wide and 22 cm long overall, and it closes with a pin buckle clasp. To adjust the fit, you remove one or more links, and our watch size guide explains how. Keep any links you take out in case you need them later.

Wearing it day to day

Silver steel and a green dial sit comfortably with both a shirt and a plain jumper, so this watch moves easily from the office to the weekend. It asks for little beyond a fresh battery when the time comes, and the metal links can simply be wiped clean.
